>Description:
	The procfs(5) manpage documents that the 6th field of the
	process status output is "major,minor of the controlling
	terminal, or -1,-1 if there is no controlling terminal".

	However experiments and the source code in
	/usr/src/sys/fs/procfs/procfs_status.c show that the contents
	of this field is the devname, or "-" if there is no
	controlling terminal. This was apparently changed in revision
	1.56 of this file, with the commit message "Don't export
	major,minor, instead export tty name."
